Low Fat Vegan Chocolate Mug Cake

Tomorrow is the official release date for my new book, Everyday Happy Herbivore- I can't believe it's here! Thank you all for your support, I'm so happy to be able to write these recipes for you.

Today, I'm sharing one last cookbook teaser with you..and boy is it a great one. This chocolate mug cake will go from flour to in your mouth in just five minutes. It's a great single serving recipe and it's super easy to make.

In a small bowl, whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and cinnamon together, set aside. For a really sweet cake, add more sugar. In another small bowl, whisk ¼ cup applesauce, nondairy milk, and a drop or two of vanilla extract together. Pour wet into dry, then add chips, stirring to combine.

Add another 1-2 tbsp of applesauce, until the batter is wet and resembles regular cake batter. Pour batter into a coffee cup, and microwave for three minutes (at 1000 watts - if your microwave is weaker or stronger, please adjust accordingly).
